Ugueth Urbina, whose last major league team was the Phillies, was sentenced to 14 years in jail, according to an Associated Press report. He was convicted for the attempted murder of five people who worked on his family's ranch in Venezuela.

Urbina came to the Phillies in a midseason 2005 trade that sent infielder Placido Polanco to the Detroit Tigers. He pitched in 56 games for the Phillies, going 4-3 with a 4.13 ERA. He won a World Series in 2003 with the Florida Marlins
